Hi All, Sorry if this message isn't appropriate but I was hoping to help as many ppl as possible since google didn't show, me, anything and redhat's kickstart (rh-9) failed each time. Here's the situation: You've build a redhat system with a RAID'ed LVM partition and are now using the anaconda-ks file as a kickstart config (and probably similar situations) In the redhat anaconda-ks file you filesystem looks somewhat like this: #clearpart --all --initlabel #part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=200 --ondisk=hda --asprimary #part raid.100001 --size=5000 --ondisk=hdc #part raid.100000 --size=5000 --ondisk=hda #part raid.100005 --size=2000 --ondisk=hdc #part raid.100004 --size=2000 --ondisk=hda #part raid.100003 --size=512 --ondisk=hdc #part raid.100002 --size=512 --ondisk=hda #part /boot2 --fstype ext3 --size=200 --ondisk=hdc --asprimary #part raid.100007 --size=100 --grow --ondisk=hdc #part raid.100006 --size=100 --grow --ondisk=hda #raid / --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.100000 raid.100001 #raid swap --fstype swap --level=RAID0 raid.100002 raid.100003 #raid pv.100008 --fstype physical volume (LVM) --level=RAID1 raid.100006 raid.100007 #raid /var --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.100004 raid.100005 #volgroup Volume00 pv.100008 #logvol /srv --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=Volume00 --size=50924 The interesting (and fatal) line is: #raid pv.100008 --fstype physical volume (LVM) --level=RAID1 raid.100006 By removing the "--fstype" modifier the installer will work properly. So this line should now like like: raid pv.1000008 --level=RAID1 raid.100006 >From here you system will install correctly and you will have a properly RAID'ed LVM partition. Please let me know if you have any ?'s or comments. I'll do a writeup and post it on my site.
